In contrast to previous discussions, Lee A. Rothfarb's study explains Kurth's theories in light of his analyses of specific musical examples. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlike many of his contemporaries, Kurth approached music primarily from a cognitive rather than a purely technical viewpoint. In a unique kind of experiential analysis, he examined the psychological foundations of counterpoint, harmony, and form, and considered the affective, as opposed to solely structural or syntactic, effects of melody, chord, interval, and tone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe introduction provides a biographical sketch of Kurth, based on archival research and personal interview with his widow, son, and many of his doctoral students. Rothfarb also discusses the intellectual currents of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, both musical and nonmusical, which shaped Kurth's outlook. Eight chapters summarize the main ideas of \u003ci\u003eGrundlagen des linearen Kontrapunkts\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRomantische Harmonik\u003c\/i\u003e and show the directions Kurth took in his later works, Bruckner and Musikpsychologie. A final chapter identified his influence on several of his well-known contemporaries. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eErnst Kurth as Theorist and Analyst\u003c\/i\u003e will interest music theorists, musicologists, and advanced students of music theory.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLee A.
